Christ Nearer Than You Think

By Christian Union

You may be nearer to Christ than you think. Those men who went stumbling along the road to Emmaus, weeping and mourning that their Christ was gone, poured into his very ear the tale of their bereavement. They told him of their trouble—that they had lost Christ; and there he was talking with them. In the midst of their deep grief there was their victory, and they did not know it. There is many a man in embarrassment, overwhelmed with care, who does not know what to do. It is the pressure of God's hand upon him for the purpose of betterment. It is God present in affairs; Christ near to him for the sake of winning him to himself.
